These items help get your flies deeper in the water. Products such as Xink
and Snake River Mud de-grease your leader and/or fly to penetrate the
surface tension of the water. Twist-ons, Brass Head Soft Weight and Deep
Soft Weight add lead or tunsten to add weight to your leader or fly.

Loon Brass Head Soft WeightJust like
Deep Soft Weight, this sinket is a Tungsten-based alternative to toxic
lead-based products. With a brass color, it is perfect for making your own
bead head nymphs right on-stream. It is both biodegradable and reusable.
This stuff helps weight streamers, steelhead and salmon flies as well as
nymphs. Soft weights tend to squish between rocks where split-shots get
hung-up between rocks. Brass Soft Head Weight and Deep Soft Weight are
used the same way. Deep soft weight is dull grey in color. Brass
Head soft Weight is shiny on purpose.FEATURES:Tungsten

Loon Deep Soft WeightA reusable non-lead putty that can be used in any amount
and shaped into many configurations. Deep Soft Weight is more snag free
than any kind of lead weight and saves the angler some aggravation of
re-rigging after break-offs. This is the most "Earth Friendly" sinker
material out there.

Xink Liquid Fly SinkA liquid wetting agent that breaks the water surface-film and
sinks both leaders and unweighted flies. Very handy when fishing any kind
of wet flies. When flies are treated with Xink water will penetrate the
fly instantly on first contact. Air bubbles are gone. Materials like
marabou and hackle flow with more life-like movement for fooling the fish.
When applied directly from the bottle Xink is mess free.Claimed by
George Gerke to be wetter than water. Bares contemplation doesn't it.

Twist-on lead strips
in a match bookTwist-ons are compact to carry, require no tools to install and
are aerodynamic to cast. You can use partial Twish-ons for a small amount
of weight or multiple Twist-ons for heavy weight. Twist-ons are reusable.
When using Twist-ons with fine leader, it is best to place them above a
blood knot, or surgeon's knot to keep them in place.
